I propose that we give names to the unnamed color combinations!
For example {U}{G}{R} could be
"Reverse Esper" because its blue without {B} and {W}!
But thats just a suggestion so get your {thinkin caps} and lets start {brainstorm}ing!
Why not just call it Wat it is? Rug?
Because its not fun?
Why doesnt people call esper Wub?
Izze BR?
Dont be such a buzzkill :P
Well im going to make a reverse naya zombie deck when rtr comes out and thats what ill name it! ;D
But why is esper blue essentially? You are calling it reverse esper and making blue the main focus? So what reverse naya? I'm just confused.
And for the record, I had an idea but it woulda come out racist. Lmao. I was gunna say GUR could be Crayola bc nobody every likes the white and black crayons. 😝
Well i see all the shards as one color with its allies! Bant: White Ally with: Blue and green.
Esper: Blue ally with black and white.
Etc etc
Very true. Idk I just got confused. Monday mornings suck. Especially working in Brooklyn schools when I feel like all I do is tell kids to sit down and I never teach anything.
That sucks :-/
I did a substitution once for 7th grade class and i felt like a drill sargeant when the kids started to get out of control. All you want them to do is pay a little attention and not hate you for it. :(
I hated subbing. It was miserable. They have absolutely zero respect for you because you aren't "their teacher" so they "don't have to listen to you". I hated that. I would write down every name and find out that nothing ever was done about the brats that were disrespectful to you. It's like you didn't matter. At least with this I can call their parents, but in Brooklyn, NY, it's hit or miss. You either get the parents that will be on their kids asses befor they even get home or you get the parents who don't give two 💩's.
Anyway, back to color combos. So I think that RUG could be called "Zim" as in GUR, the little robot dude from Invader Zim. (I think it's spelled Gir but eh close enough.)
If you need to explain two levels of a joke/name, it's really not going to gel. Any names should make sense as soon as you hear it (USA = {R}{W}{U}, RUG, BUG, etc.) Although, it IS a pity no one uses RUB instead of Grixis. :-\
If you want to come up with a name, find one for {B}{R}{W}.
Haha, awesome!
Or we could call them after the planar chaos dragons? {Inet, the dreamer} {Teneb the harvester}? ;D
{R}{U}{G} is a Dreamer deck ;D
If always called WBR oros after the dragon.
Edit: {oros,the avenger}

{Oros the avenger}!!! ;D
Avenger is {W}{B}{R}! ;D
Where did "Junk" come from for {B}{G}{W} anyway? I mean, I like it, it's catchy, but I have no idea why it's called that, and its a good color combo too!
I'd call {R}{W}{B} Neopolitan after the ice cream.
What is this flavor?!
It's an ice cream container with 3 flavors unmixed but next to each other. Most commonly it's strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate.
Haha awesome! Thats totally Wrb

like Jund ({B}{R}{G}), but {W} instead. Making it "junky", I guess.

Powerpuff is creative...but it's RUG, it does already have a name unfortunately.

I wasn't going to post on this, but I dig that name dude! Brick...
For the BRW, I'm thinking either "newspaper" or the more lengthy "sunburnt penguin", because it is BLACK WHITE, and RE(a)D all over!
